David's fascination with Epics stems from the incident that orphaned him. His father, a member of the [[Faithful]] named [[Blain Charleston]], was at a bank, negotiating a mortgage, when an Epic called [[Deathpoint]] entered and began murdering people. However, [[Steelheart]] entered the bank, claiming the city as his own. Deathpoint began attacking Steelheart and was about to use a second, unknown, ability, when Blain shot him. As the man still believed that Epics could be good, he did not fear Steelheart, triggering the Epic's weakness and causing him to be injured when the bullet grazed the side of his face on its way into Deathpoint's skull. He then killed Blain and would have killed David as well had he not hidden in a vault that Steelheart didn't think to search.

David knows an huge number of facts about different Epics. He uses this to great effect while hunting Epics, knowing even the vaguest speculation about the weaknesses of different Epics. This stems from his obsessive hatred of Steelheart, and by extension Epics in general, and the single-minded focus on a way to kill him that it fuels. He is extremely skilled with a rifle, and believes that they are in all ways superior to handguns, though, if he were to need to use a handgun, he'd prefer one with as much stopping power as possible since he wouldn't expect to hit his target more than once. He habitually makes terrible metaphors such as a "brick made of porridge".

* ;Steel Transfersion: Assumedly like Steelheart David can spontaneously transforms non-living matter around him to solid steel, spreading out from him in a sphere. Steel and iron have the ability to "insulate" against the transfersion, but other metals are transformed to steel. As this ability is tied to his emotions, he sometimes uses it without intent.

* ;Invulnerability: Assumedly like Steelheart, David is impervious to harm from all known sources, including bullets, edged weapons, blunt force, suffocation, radiation, electricity and fire.

* ;Super Strength: David is extremely strong; far more than would seem possible considering his muscle mass. He is still developing the power.

* ;Energy Beams: David can project energy beams from his hands that can vaporizehot peopleenough andto melt steel with ease.

* ;The Ocean: David used to fear the depths, but he has brought his fear under control in what he describes as an uneasy truce. As in all Epics, the fear was exaggerated, but after he confronted the fear, it returned to normal.

He compiled a complicated ranking system and many notebooks full of information about different Epics, but try as he might, the one weakness he could never discover was that of Steelheart.
